GUILD BOARD IS UPPlease SAVE any information you wish to keep as it may be deleted to refresh the board Deadline for deletion of posts: January, 20th, 2015
New Guild Board . Having a alphabetical index of all guilds with a link to make finding guilds easier. . Deleting all current posts, not including the guild advertisement (usually the first post) . Locking all guild threads so there is only 1 post for the advertisement, the post creator can still edit the post . Potential applicants will have to PM to ask for an invite . Easy for Moderators to switch the owner of the thread if requested . Less arguing on a guild thread

Thats a good idea. May you add a spot for guild events as well so guilds can post there screenies so everyone can see. Or videos. Containing the guild event? Also alphebeticlly. That would be awesome

Can you make More than one owner for the same Thread? Like 2 controllers?

Everything sounds good except we can't all talk on the thread. I liked my guild having a nook to talk and promote from. Humans are competitive. Its gonna get heated and trashy at times. It happens.
But not allowing us to talk still feels like I'm being punished for the actions of an extremely small sect of people.
Please don't over sterilize the forums. MMO's are social... ...the forum of a MMO should be too.

Locking all guild threads so there is only 1 post for the advertisement, the post creator can still edit the post . Potential applicants will have to PM to ask for an invite . Easy for Moderators to switch the owner of the thread if requested . Less arguing on a guild thread Everything's fine except for locking the thread. Could we choose who can and cannot post within the thread? Like for instance the OP selects all of his/her guild members and gives them permission for them to post within the thread. Some guild members may have the forums as their only source of communicating with the guild because they may not have social apps such as kik, facebook etc., and the only other possible way for them to communicate with the guild would be online in the game. Of course it may take away spam from the threads and stopping any possible conflict from happening on guild threads, but its limiting those who want to see things such as guild event pictures or videos or any upcoming events on notice. For the issue about people arguing on the thread, I think if the OP had permission to remove those who can post on the thread this is another possible way of removing any conflict from happening. Everything about this new guild board is fine though except for the guild threads being locked and all of the posts being deleted except for the original post.

I'm guessing the reason for locking is that people kept spamming there threads up and pro boards will ban people for doing it because they think there bots

Yes. Very helpfull.
Sure. Most of guild posts are spammed. But before you do this allow people to save thier stuff. There is lot of important info and stuff not only in forst post and few maybe want to save it.
Semi good idea. If you want to lock threads be prepare that people wil post guild related things in random places of forum
Line earlier.
And now its hard?
Beautifull dream. If not in guild thread than in other thread. You cant avoid that. I talk about it in other post.

An alphabetical index is an amazing idea. Love it.. I like the idea for the most part. I do feel as if having only a select few be able to post on the thread would be better than just plain locking it. I don't know if the forum is capable of that though. It's possible I guess. I think PMing to ask for an invite is better than just posting on the guild thread anyways. People don't have to sift through replies in the thread to find out who wants to join, they can read PM's that are specifically for that purpose. Much more efficient for the Guild Master/Officer/Vets. I completely see how it would be easier for Moderators to switch the owner of the thread. Just guessing on the way the forum is set up lol. The guild thread should not be for arguing, that leaves a bad impression on the guild anyways. Leave that crap on Facebook or something. Obviously mild guild arguments are probably fine anyways because that will happen often, emphasis on "mild". To Nouvelle Vague Guilds can be talked about in other topics to be honest. Obviously you don't want to blast recruitment or something in other topics but things related to guilds in other topics is fine.

And now its hard? I can't exactly take the first post of a 10 page thread and change it to a new user, the whole 10 pages will have to be locked and started again.Beautifull dream. If not in guild thread than in other thread. You cant avoid that. I talk about it in other post. If the guild thread is locked how will they argue, it is not a dream.

Like I said - they make new thread. Start guild fight is easy as hell. It's enough to write that guild x is full of scammers, bots, sh users, wait... and POOF! Shitstorm happens! Sure. Guild thread is clean but we have at least 3-4 new spam threads where people are fighting. If they fight in guild thread is easier to stop it, becouse owner of thread dont want that kind of posts in his guild advert so he is more likely to cooperate and he can influence on his guildmatea so in consequence there is big cjance that they just ignore provocation. Ofc not everyone and not always.
And about changing owner of thread... yep that was retarded. My bad. Sry.

All of these are great ideas and I can't wait for them to take action, but locking the Guild threads... come on now, really K? I and many other GM's use the Guild thread for updates, Guild events and just Guild related topics in general. Not all guilds have Facebook pages to take their conversations and guild activities to. Even for those that do, not all of their members have Facebook or are willing to make one. I understand you don't want arguing or bashing on the forums, I get that really I do, but this is the internet and trying to play peace keeper just isn't gonna work and it's more then likely to set more people off. Arguments are gonna happen no matter what, that's life. Locking threads isn't going to stop it, not when they know all they have to do is take it to a new thread or create one just for the occasion. No one likes arguments, it's childish and petty but don't take away other people's rights just because a couple of kids didn't know when to keep their mouth shut. I'm not the only one who feels that locking the Guild threads are uncalled for, but I suppose how we feel about it doesn't really matter to you. 63 people are in favour of it, 7 against, I think you did not understand it correctly. They get locked to prevent "bumping" of guild threads, cross-guild thread conversations, and other unnecessary actions. The guild list will solve the bump problem, recruitment is still being made and interested people will PM instead.

Ryukengan, I think you misunderstood what Morbid was saying. Is there any way that one person can be in charge of editing a single thread, and others are unable to post comments on it? It would be nice if we could make groups, so only people of a specific guild could post in their guild thread, and then the guild master could moderate the comments.

Just going by K's post, as I cannot test it myself (feel free to make a thread and you and I can play with it) but... So a Locked thread can still be edited by the owner to update information, and if original owner is gone for any reason, someone can be assigned by a Mod - presumably at the request of the new Guild master.

Thanks for trying to help clear things up Taka (Evelynn) but honestly it's not worth explaining to them. Let them do what they want, they are going to regardless. I'll find somewhere else to post Guild events, updates, gatherings, etc. Don't worry =]I suppose you still do not understand, you will have space to share your guild events, updates, and gatherings in one post (if someone really needs more space we might give 2 or 3 posts per thread), we will just cut out the chit chat, you have the in game guild chat and whatever other chatting applications to do that somewhere else.
